I recommend reading the passage on Spengler in Poppers 'The open society'.

  People online should know that George Soros is a capitalist who loves Karl Popper and named his foundation after the Open Society. Trumpism is breaking apart the Reagan coalition of economic liberalizers and social conservatives. George Soros would have been part of the Reagan coalition, but Trump feeds resentment that economic liberalizers in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s forced social conservatives to take the shorter end of the stick. A lot of people online think Soros & his foundation are purely for identity politics, but he's more of a Popper partisan than anything else.

    Soros has gone heavily for trans issues in recent years, with some longtime collaborators puzzled while this is getting so much attention and funding from his infrastructure. Surely that would limit his ability to be part of any Reagan consensus even in a best-case scenario.

    Soros is also for higher taxes for the wealthy, hardly something with which would the Reagan coalition with its 'trickle-down' con agree.
